A panel of internationally acclaimed artists, artistic directors and curators explore how art shapes – and is shaped by – the cities we inhabit. Sites of Meaning considers how culture, memory and migration influence our experience of place in a world defined by a multiplicity of voices and perspectives.
Drawing on threads weaved within this year’s Festival opening show BOGOTÁ, the guests will include the show’s choreographer Andrea Peña. Full panel line-up to be announced.
